Benefits of technology
This solution significantly reduces search time for configuration changes, minimizes errors in component activation counting, and integrates life cycle tracking with operational workflows, enhancing reliability and maintainability in subsea BOP arrangements.
Problems solved by technology
In oil and gas drilling applications, it is not currently possible to track or manage life cycle data of particular drilling subsystems in real-time.
Furthermore, when a configuration of a particular equipment is changed, for example as result of scheduled or condition-based maintenance tasks, databases including information about the equipment's various subsystems do not reflect the change in configuration until the databases are reconfigured by an operator.
As such, life cycle tracking is typically time-consuming and costly, in addition to being error-prone because it relies on manual data entry.
Moreover, the above-noted issues are even more pronounced when managing a large number of assets over their entire life cycles.
These inaccuracies commonly result in the loss of information valuable to determining reliability and maintainability.

Provided is a life cycle tracking system including a memory and a processor. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform certain operations. For example, the operations can include effecting a change in a first database including data related to a set of components installed on a blowout preventer stack, in response to a drag and drop operation having been performed on a human machine interface. The change can include associating information from a second database to the first database. The second database includes data related to a set of spare components.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 147,210, which was filed on Apr. 14, 2015, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to subsea oil and gas drilling systems. In particular, the embodiments relate to life cycle and usage tracking of subsea oil and gas drilling subsystems and their associated components.[0004]2. Brief Description of the Related Art[0005]In oil and gas drilling applications, it is not currently possible to track or manage life cycle data of particular drilling subsystems in real-time. For example, and not by limitation, maintenance data, equipment status, equipment usage, equipment lifetime, and sensor calibration data are typically entered manually into a database, as the need arises. Furthermore, when a configuration of a particular equipment is changed,...
